Reversal Point Dynamics⇋ Reversal Point Dynamics (RPD)
This is not an indicator; it is a complete system for deconstructing the mechanics of a market reversal. Reversal Point Dynamics (RPD) moves far beyond simplistic pattern recognition, venturing into a deep analysis of the underlying forces that cause trends to exhaust, pause, and turn. It is engineered from the ground up to identify high-probability reversal points by quantifying the confluence of market dynamics in real-time.
Where other tools provide a static signal, RPD delivers a dynamic probability. It understands that a true market turning point is not a single event, but a cascade of failing momentum, structural breakdown, and a shift in market order. RPD's core engine meticulously analyzes each of these dynamic components—the market's underlying state, its velocity and acceleration, its degree of chaos (entropy), and its structural framework. These forces are synthesized into a single, unified Probability Score, offering you an unprecedented, transparent view into the conviction behind every potential reversal.
This is not a "black box" system. It is an open-architecture engine designed to empower the discerning trader. Featuring real-time signal projection, an integrated Fibonacci R2R Target Engine, and a comprehensive dashboard that acts as your Dynamics Control Center , RPD gives you a complete, holistic view of the market's state.
The Theoretical Core: Deconstructing Market Dynamics
RPD's analytical power is born from the intelligent synthesis of multiple, distinct theoretical models. Each pillar of the engine analyzes a different facet of market behavior. The convergence of these analyses—the "Singularity" event referenced in the dashboard—is what generates the final, high-conviction probability score.
1. Pillar One: Quantum State Analysis (QSA)
This is the foundational analysis of the market's current state within its recent context. Instead of treating price as a random walk, QSA quantizes it into a finite number of discrete "states."
Formulaic Concept: The engine establishes a price range using the highest high and lowest low over the Adaptive Analysis Period. This range is then divided into a user-defined number of Analysis Levels. The current price is mapped to one of these states (e.g., in a 9-level system, State 0 is the absolute low, and State 8 is the absolute high).
Analytical Edge: This acts as a powerful foundational filter. The engine will only begin searching for reversal signals when the market has reached a statistically stretched, extreme state (e.g., State 0 or 8). The Edge Sensitivity input allows you to control exactly how close to this extreme edge the price must be, ensuring you are trading from points of maximum potential exhaustion.
2. Pillar Two: Price State Roc (PSR) - The Dynamics of Momentum
This pillar analyzes the kinetic forces of the market: its velocity and acceleration. It understands that it’s not just where the price is, but how it got there that matters.
Formulaic Concept: The psr function calculates two derivatives of price.
Velocity: (price - price ). This measures the speed and direction of the current move.
Acceleration: (velocity - velocity ). This measures the rate of change in that speed. A negative acceleration (deceleration) during a strong rally is a critical pre-reversal warning, indicating momentum is fading even as price may be pushing higher.
Analytical Edge: The engine specifically hunts for exhaustion patterns where momentum is clearly decelerating as price reaches an extreme state. This is the mechanical signature of a weakening trend.
3. Pillar Three: Market Entropy Analysis - The Dynamics of Order & Chaos
This is RPD's chaos filter, a concept borrowed from information theory. Entropy measures the degree of randomness or disorder in the market's price action.
Formulaic Concept: The calculateEntropy function analyzes recent price changes. A market moving directionally and smoothly has low entropy (high order). A market chopping back and forth without direction has high entropy (high chaos). The value is normalized between 0 and 1.
Analytical Edge: The most reliable trades occur in low-entropy, ordered environments. RPD uses the Entropy Threshold to disqualify signals that attempt to form in chaotic, unpredictable conditions, providing a powerful shield against whipsaw markets.
4. Pillar Four: The Synthesis Engine & Probability Calculation
This is where all the dynamic forces converge. The final probability score is a weighted calculation that heavily rewards confluence.
Formulaic Concept: The calculateProbability function intelligently assembles the final score:
A Base Score is established from trend strength and entropy.
An Entropy Score adds points for low entropy (order) and subtracts for high entropy (chaos).
A significant Divergence Bonus is awarded for a classic momentum divergence.
RSI & Volume Bonuses are added if momentum oscillators are in extreme territory or a volume spike confirms institutional interest.
MTF & Adaptive Bonuses add further weight for alignment with higher timeframe structure.
Analytical Edge: A signal backed by multiple dynamic forces (e.g., extreme state + decelerating momentum + low entropy + volume spike) will receive an exponentially higher probability score. This is the very essence of analyzing reversal point dynamics.
The Command Center: Mastering the Inputs
Every input is a precise lever of control, allowing you to fine-tune the RPD engine to your exact trading style, market, and timeframe.
🧠 Core Algorithm
Predictive Mode (Early Detection):
What It Is: Enables the engine to search for potential reversals on the current, unclosed bar.
How It Works: Analyzes intra-bar acceleration and state to identify developing exhaustion. These signals are marked with a ' ? ' and are tentative.
How To Use It: Enable for scalping or very aggressive day trading to get the earliest possible indication. Disable for swing trading or a more conservative approach that waits for full bar confirmation.
Live Signal Mode (Current Bar):
What It Is: A highly aggressive mode that plots tentative signals with a ' ! ' on the live bar based on projected price and momentum. These signals repaint intra-bar.
How It Works: Uses a linear regression projection of the close to anticipate a reversal.
How To Use It: For advanced users who use intra-bar dynamics for execution and understand the nature of repainting signals.
Adaptive Analysis Period:
What It Is: The main lookback period for the QSA, PSR, and Entropy calculations. This is the engine's "memory."
How It Works: A shorter period makes the engine highly sensitive to local price swings. A longer period makes it focus only on major, significant market structure.
How To Use It: Scalping (1-5m): 15-25. Day Trading (15m-1H): 25-40. Swing Trading (4H+): 40-60.
Fractal Strength (Bars):
What It Is: Defines the strength of the pivot detection used for confirming reversal events.
How It Works: A value of '2' requires a candle's high/low to be more extreme than the two bars to its left and right.
How To Use It: '2' is a robust standard. Increase to '3' for an even stricter definition of a structural pivot, which will result in fewer signals.
MTF Multiplier:
What It Is: Integrates pivot data from a higher timeframe for confluence.
How It Works: A multiplier of '4' on a 15-minute chart will pull pivot data from the 1-hour chart (15 * 4 = 60m).
How To Use It: Set to a multiple that corresponds to your preferred higher timeframe for contextual analysis.
🎯 Signal Settings
Min Probability %:
What It Is: Your master quality filter. A signal is only plotted if its score exceeds this threshold.
How It Works: Directly filters the output of the final probability calculation.
How To Use It: High-Quality (80-95): For A+ setups only. Balanced (65-75): For day trading. Aggressive (50-60): For scalping.
Min Signal Distance (Bars):
What It Is: A noise filter that prevents signals from clustering in choppy conditions.
How It Works: Enforces a "cooldown" period of N bars after a signal.
How To Use It: Increase in ranging markets to focus on major swings. Decrease on lower timeframes.
Entropy Threshold:
What It Is: Your "chaos shield." Sets the maximum allowable market randomness for a signal.
How It Works: If calculated entropy is above this value, the signal is invalidated.
How To Use It: Lower values (0.1-0.5): Extremely strict. Higher values (0.7-1.0): More lenient. 0.85 is a good balance.
Adaptive Entropy & Aggressive Mode:
What It Is: Toggles for dynamically adjusting the engine's core parameters.
How It Works: Adaptive Entropy can slightly lower the required probability in strong trends. Aggressive Mode uses more lenient settings across the board.
How To Use It: Keep Adaptive on. Use Aggressive Mode sparingly, primarily for scalping highly volatile assets.
📊 State Analysis
Analysis Levels:
What It Is: The number of discrete "states" for the QSA.
How It Works: More levels create a finer-grained analysis of price location.
How To Use It: 6-7 levels are ideal. Increasing to 9 can provide more precision on very volatile assets.
Edge Sensitivity:
What It Is: Defines how close to the absolute top/bottom of the range price must be.
How It Works: '0' means price must be in the absolute highest/lowest state. '3' allows a signal within the top/bottom 3 states.
How To Use It: '3' provides a good balance. Lower it to '1' or '0' if you only want to trade extreme exhaustion.
The Dashboard: Your Dynamics Control Center
The dashboard provides a transparent, real-time view into the engine's brain. Use it to understand the context behind every signal and to gauge the current market environment at a glance.
🎯 UNIFIED PROB SCORE
TOTAL SCORE: The highest probability score (either Peak or Valley) the engine is currently calculating. This is your main at-a-glance conviction metric. The "Singularity" header refers to the event where market dynamics align—the event RPD is built to detect.
Quality: A human-readable interpretation of the Total Score. "EXCEPTIONAL" (🌟) is a rare, A+ confluence event. "STRONG" (💪) is a high-quality, tradable setup.
📊 ORDER FLOW & COMPONENT ANALYSIS
Volume Spike: Shows if the current volume is significantly higher than average (YES/NO). A 'YES' adds major confirmation.
Peak/Valley Conf: This breaks down the probability score into its directional components, showing you the separate confidence levels for a potential top (Peak) versus a bottom (Valley).
🌌 MARKET STRUCTURE
HTF Trend: Shows the direction of the underlying trend based on a Supertrend calculation.
Entropy: The current market chaos reading. "🔥 LOW" is an ideal, ordered state for trading. "😴 HIGH" is a warning of choppy, unpredictable conditions.
🔮 FIB & R2R ZONE (Large Dashboard)
This section gives you the status of the Fibonacci Target Engine. It shows if an Active Channel (entry zone) or Stop Zone (invalidation zone) is active and displays the precise price levels for the static entry, target, and stop calculated at the time of the signal.
🛡️ FILTERS & PREDICTIVES (Large Dashboard)
This panel provides a status check on all the bonus filters. It shows the current RSI Status, whether a Divergence is present, and if a Live Pending signal is forming.
The Visual Interface: A Symphony of Data
Every visual element is designed for instant, intuitive interpretation of market dynamics.
Signal Markers: These are the primary outputs of the engine.
▼/▲ b: A fully confirmed signal that has passed all filters.
? b: A tentative signal generated in Predictive Mode, indicating developing dynamics.
◈ b: This diamond icon replaces the standard triangle when the signal is confirmed by a strong momentum divergence, highlighting it as a superior setup where dynamics are misaligned with price.
Harmonic Wave: The flowing, colored wave around the price.
What It Represents: The market's "flow dynamic" and volatility.
How to Interpret It: Expanding waves show increasing volatility. The color is tied to the "Quantum Color" in your theme, representing the underlying energy field of the market.
Entropy Particles: The small dots appearing above/below price.
What They Represent: A direct visualization of the "order dynamic."
How to Interpret Them: Their presence signifies a low-entropy, ordered state ideal for trading. Their color indicates the direction of momentum (PSR velocity). Their absence means the market is too chaotic (high entropy).
The Fibonacci Target Engine: The dynamic R2R system appearing post-signal.
Static Fib Levels: Colored horizontal lines representing the market's "structural dynamic."
The Green "Active Channel" Box: Your zone of consideration. An area to manage a potential entry.
Development Philosophy
Reversal Point Dynamics was engineered to answer a fundamental question: can we objectively measure the forces behind a market turn? It is a synthesis of concepts from market microstructure, statistics, and information theory. The objective was never to create a "perfect" system, but to build a robust decision-support tool that provides a measurable, statistical edge by focusing on the principle of confluence.
By demanding that multiple, independent market dynamics align simultaneously, RPD filters out the vast majority of market noise. It is designed for the trader who thinks in terms of probability and risk management, not in terms of certainties. It is a tool to help you discount the obvious and bet on the unexpected alignment of market forces.
"Markets are constantly in a state of uncertainty and flux and money is made by discounting the obvious and betting on the unexpected."

PF.MSThe Pressure & Flow Momentum Strategy (PF.MS) detects market pressure buildup through advanced candlestick analysis and captures momentum flow when conditions align, providing accurate buy and sell signals across cryptocurrencies and stocks—but even sophisticated strategies can be wrong when markets turn brutal without warning. The system reads real-time pressure dynamics (buying vs selling forces, wick patterns, volatility conditions) to identify when smart money is positioning, then captures the resulting momentum flow with precise entry and exit timing. While highly accurate at detecting pressure shifts and momentum changes, the strategy can still face losses during sudden news events or when market sentiment overrides technical patterns. The PF.MS combines intelligent pressure detection with momentum capture, trailing profit protection and strict stop losses

Trend Range Detector (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Trend Range Detector (Zeiierman) is a market structure tool that identifies and tracks periods of price compression by forming adaptive range boxes based on volatility and price movement. When prices remain stable within a defined band, the script dynamically draws a range box; when prices break out of that structure, the box highlights the breakout in real-time.
By combining a volatility-based envelope with a custom weighted centerline, this tool filters out noise and isolates truly stable zones — providing a clean framework for traders who focus on accumulation, distribution, breakout anticipation, and reversion opportunities.
Whether you're range trading, spotting trend consolidations, or looking for volatility contractions before major moves, the Trend Range Detector gives you a mathematically adaptive, visually intuitive structure that maps the heartbeat of the market.
█ How It Works
⚪ Range Formation Engine
The core of this indicator revolves around two conditions:
Distance Filter: The maximum distance between all recent closes and a dynamic centerline must remain within a volatility envelope.
Volatility Envelope: Based on an ATR(2000) multiplied by a user-defined factor to account for broader market volatility trends.
If both conditions are satisfied over the most recent length bars, a range box is drawn to visually anchor the zone.
⚪ Dynamic Breakout Coloring
When price breaks out of the top or bottom of the active range box, the box color shifts in real-time:
Blue Boxes represent areas where price has remained within a defined volatility envelope over a sustained number of bars. These zones reflect stable, low-volatility periods, often associated with consolidation, equilibrium, or market indecision.
Green Boxes for bullish breakouts.
Red Boxes for bearish breakdowns.
This allows traders to visually spot transitions from consolidation to expansion phases without relying on lagging signals.
█ Why Use a Weighted Close Instead of SMA?
A standard Simple Moving Average (SMA) treats all past closes equally, which works well in theory, but not in dynamic, fast-shifting markets. In this script, we replace the traditional SMA with a speed-weighted average that reflects how aggressively the market has moved bar-to-bar.
⚪ Here's why it matters:
Bars with higher momentum (larger price differences between closes) are given more weight.
Slow, sideways candles (typical in noise or low volume) contribute less to the calculated centerline.
This method creates a more accurate snapshot of market behavior, especially during volatile phases. As a result, the indicator adapts to market conditions more effectively, helping traders identify real consolidation zones, not just average lines distorted by flat bars or noise.
█ How to Use
⚪ Range Detection
Boxes form only when price remains consistently close to the speed-weighted mean.
Helps identify sideways zones, consolidations, and low-volatility structures where price is “charging up.”
⚪ Breakout Confirmation
Once price exits the top or bottom boundary, the box immediately highlights the direction of the break.
Use this signal in conjunction with your own momentum, volume, or trend filters for higher-confidence trades.
█ Settings
Minimum Range Length: Number of candles required for a valid range to form.
Range Width Multiplier: Adjusts the envelope around the weighted average using ATR(2000).
Highlight Box Breaks: Enables real-time coloring of breakouts and breakdowns for immediate visual feedback.

ATR Circle PlotTitle: ATR Circle Plot
Short Title: ATR Circle Plot
Description:
ATR Circle Plot is a dynamic overlay indicator that visualizes volatility-based levels around the open price of each bar, using the Average True Range (ATR). It plots two customizable levels—Upper and Lower ATR—calculated by multiplying the ATR by a user-defined factor (default: 1.0) and adding/subtracting it from the open price. These levels are displayed as colored circles on the chart, ideal for identifying potential breakout or stop-loss zones. A movable table summarizes the ATR value, Upper Level, and Lower Level with tick precision, and a new toggleable label feature displays these values directly on the chart for quick reference.
Perfect for traders in volatile markets like forex, futures, or stocks, this indicator helps set risk parameters or spot key price levels. Users can adjust the ATR timeframe, length, multiplier, table position, and circle colors to suit their strategy. The optional chart labels enhance usability by overlaying ATR metrics at the latest price levels, reducing the need to check the table during fast-moving markets.
Key Features:
Plots Upper and Lower ATR levels as colored circles around the open price.
Toggleable table (top/bottom, left/right) showing ATR and level values in ticks.
Optional chart labels for ATR, Upper, and Lower levels, toggleable via input.
Customizable ATR length, multiplier, timeframe, and colors for flexibility.
Lightweight and compatible with any chart timeframe.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart and adjust the ATR length, multiplier, and timeframe as needed. Enable/disable the table or labels based on your preference. Use the Upper and Lower ATR levels as dynamic support/resistance or stop-loss guides. For example, place stops beyond the Upper/Lower levels or target breakouts when price crosses them. Combine with trend or momentum indicators for a robust setup.
Note: Leave the ATR Timeframe input empty to use the chart’s timeframe, or specify a higher timeframe (e.g., “D” for daily) for broader volatility context. Ensure your chart’s tick size aligns with the asset for accurate table values.

Momentum BandsMomentum Bands indicator-->technical tool that measures the rate of price change and surrounds this momentum with adaptive bands to highlight overbought and oversold zones. Unlike Bollinger Bands, which track price, these bands track momentum itself, offering a unique view of market strength and exhaustion points. At its core, it features a blue momentum line that calculates the rate of change over a set period, an upper red band marking dynamic resistance created by adding standard deviations to the momentum average, a lower green band marking dynamic support by subtracting standard deviations, and a gray middle line representing the average of momentum as a central anchor. When the momentum line touches or moves beyond the upper red band, it often signals that the market may be overbought and a pullback or reversal could follow; traders might lock in profits or watch for short setups. Conversely, when it drops below the lower green band, it can suggest an oversold market primed for a bounce, prompting traders to look for buying opportunities. If momentum remains between the bands, it typically indicates balanced conditions where waiting for stronger signals at the extremes is wise. The indicator can be used in contrarian strategies—buying near the lower band and selling near the upper—or in trend-following setups by waiting for momentum to return toward the centerline before entering trades. For stronger confirmation, traders often combine it with volume spikes, support and resistance analysis, or other trend tools, and it’s useful to check multiple timeframes to spot consistent patterns. Recommended settings vary: short-term traders might use a 7–10 period momentum with 14-period bands; medium-term traders might keep the default 14-period momentum and 20-period bands; while long-term analysis might use 21-period momentum and 50-period bands. Visually, background colors help spot extremes: red for strong overbought, green for strong oversold, and no color for normal markets, alongside reference lines at 70, 30, and 0 to guide traditional overbought, oversold, and neutral zones. Typical bullish signals include momentum rebounding from the lower band, crossing back above the middle after being oversold, or showing divergence where price makes new lows but momentum doesn’t. Bearish signals might appear when momentum hits the upper band and weakens, drops below the middle after being overbought, or price makes new highs while momentum fails to follow. The indicator tends to work best in mean-reverting or sideways markets rather than strong trends, where overbought and oversold conditions tend to repeat.

Liquidity Trap Zones [PhenLabs]📊 Liquidity Trap Zones
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The goal of the Liquidity Trap Zones indicator is to try and help traders identify areas where market liquidity appears abundant but is actually thin or artificial, helping traders avoid potential fake outs and false breakouts. This advanced indicator analyzes the relationship between price wicks and volume to detect “mirage” zones where large price movements occur on low volume, indicating potential liquidity traps.
By highlighting these deceptive zones on your charts, the indicator helps traders recognize where institutional players might be creating artificial liquidity to trap retail traders. This enables more informed decision-making and better risk management when approaching key price levels.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Mirage Score Algorithm: Proprietary calculation that normalizes wick size relative to volume and average bar size
Dynamic Zone Creation: Automatically generates gradient-filled zones at trap locations with ATR-based sizing
Intelligent Zone Management: Maintains clean charts by limiting displayed zones and auto-updating existing ones
Scale-Invariant Design: Works across all assets and timeframes with intelligent normalization
Real-Time Detection: Identifies trap zones as they form, not after the fact
Volume-Adjusted Analysis: Incorporates tick volume when available for more accurate detection
🔧 Core Components
Mirage Score Calculator: Analyzes the ratio of price wicks to volume, normalized by average bar size

✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying potential fakeout levels before entering trades
Confirming support/resistance quality by checking for liquidity traps
Avoiding stop-loss placement in trap zones where sweeps are likely
Timing entries after trap zones are cleared
Scalping opportunities when price approaches known trap zones
⚠️ Limitations
Requires volume data - less effective on instruments without reliable volume
May generate false signals during news events or genuine volume spikes
Not a standalone system - combine with price action and other indicators
Zone creation is based on historical data - future price behavior not guaranteed
💡 What Makes This Unique
First indicator to specifically target liquidity mirages using wick-to-volume analysis
Proprietary normalization ensures consistent performance across all markets
Visual gradient design makes trap zones immediately recognizable
Combines multiple volatility and volume metrics for robust detection
🔬 How It Works
1. Wick Analysis: Calculates upper and lower wicks for each bar. Normalizes by average bar size to ensure scale independence
2. Mirage Score Calculation: Divides total wick size by volume to identify thin liquidity. Applies EMA smoothing to reduce noise. Scales result for optimal visibility
3. Zone Creation: Triggers when smoothed score crosses threshold. Creates gradient boxes centered on trap bar. Sizes zones based on current ATR for market-appropriate scaling
💡 Note: Liquidity Trap Zones works best when combined with traditional support/resistance analysis and volume profile indicators. The zones highlight areas of deceptive liquidity but should not be the sole factor in trading decisions. Always use proper risk management and confirm signals with price action.
Fear Volatility Gate [by Oberlunar]The Fear Volatility Gate by Oberlunar is a filter designed to enhance operational prudence by leveraging volatility-based risk indices. Its architecture is grounded in the empirical observation that sudden shifts in implied volatility often precede instability across financial markets. By dynamically interpreting signals from globally recognized "fear indices", such as the VIX, the indicator aims to identify periods of elevated systemic uncertainty and, accordingly, restrict or flag potential trade entries.
The rationale behind the Fear Volatility Gate is rooted in the understanding that implied volatility represents a forward-looking estimate of market risk. When volatility indices rise sharply, it reflects increased demand for options and a broader perception of uncertainty. In such contexts, price movements can become less predictable, more erratic, and often decoupled from technical structures. Rather than relying on price alone, this filter provides an external perspective—derived from derivative markets—on whether current conditions justify caution.
The indicator operates in two primary modes: single-source and composite . In the single-source configuration, a user-defined volatility index is monitored individually. In composite mode, the filter can synthesize input from multiple indices simultaneously, offering a more comprehensive macro-risk assessment. The filtering logic is adaptable, allowing signals to be combined using inclusive (ANY), strict (ALL), or majority consensus logic. This allows the trader to tailor sensitivity based on the operational context or asset class.
The indices available for selection cover a broad spectrum of market sectors. In the equity domain, the filter supports the CBOE Volatility Index ( CBOE:VIX VIX) for the S&P 500, the Nasdaq-100 Volatility Index ( CBOE:VXN VXN), the Russell 2000 Volatility Index ( CBOEFTSE:RVX RVX), and the Dow Jones Volatility Index ( CBOE:VXD VXD). For commodities, it integrates the Crude Oil Volatility Index ( CBOE:OVX ), the Gold Volatility Index ( CBOE:GVZ ), and the Silver Volatility Index ( CBOE:VXSLV ). From the fixed income perspective, it includes the ICE Bank of America MOVE Index ( OKX:MOVEUSD ), the Volatility Index for the TLT ETF ( CBOE:VXTLT VXTLT), and the 5-Year Treasury Yield Index ( CBOE:FVX.P FVX). Within the cryptocurrency space, it incorporates the Bitcoin Volmex Implied Volatility Index ( VOLMEX:BVIV BVIV), the Ethereum Volmex Implied Volatility Index ( VOLMEX:EVIV EVIV), the Deribit Bitcoin Volatility Index ( DERIBIT:DVOL DVOL), and the Deribit Ethereum Volatility Index ( DERIBIT:ETHDVOL ETHDVOL). Additionally, the user may define a custom instrument for specialized tracking.
To determine whether market conditions are considered high-risk, the indicator supports three modes of evaluation.
The moving average cross mode compares a fast Hull Moving Average to a slower one, triggering a signal when short-term volatility exceeds long-term expectations.
The Z-score mode standardizes current volatility relative to historical mean and standard deviation, identifying significant deviations that may indicate abnormal market stress.
The percentile mode ranks the current value against a historical distribution, providing a relative perspective particularly useful when dealing with non-normal or skewed distributions.
When at least one selected index meets the condition defined by the chosen mode, and if the filtering logic confirms it, the indicator can mark the trading environment as “blocked”. This status is visually highlighted through background color changes and symbolic markers on the chart. An optional tabular interface provides detailed diagnostics, including raw values, fast-slow MA comparison, Z-scores, percentile levels, and binary risk status for each active index.
The Fear Volatility Gate is not a predictive tool in itself but rather a dynamic constraint layer that reinforces discipline under conditions of macro instability. It is particularly valuable when trading systems are exposed to highly leveraged or short-duration strategies, where market noise and sentiment can temporarily override structural price behavior. By synchronizing trading signals with volatility regimes, the filter promotes a more cautious, informed approach to decision-making.
This approach does not assume that all volatility spikes are harmful or that market corrections are imminent. Rather, it acknowledges that periods of elevated implied volatility statistically coincide with increased execution risk, slippage, and spread widening, all of which may erode the profitability of even the most technically accurate setups.
Therefore, the Fear Volatility Gate acts as a protective mechanism.

Weighted Multi-Mode Oscillator [BackQuant]Weighted Multi‑Mode Oscillator
1. What Is It?
The Weighted Multi‑Mode Oscillator (WMMO) is a next‑generation momentum tool that turns a dynamically‑weighted moving average into a 0‑100 bounded oscillator.
It lets you decide how each bar is weighted (by volume, volatility, momentum or a hybrid blend) and how the result is normalised (Percentile, Z‑Score or Min‑Max).
The outcome is a self‑adapting gauge that delivers crystal‑clear overbought / oversold zones, divergence clues and regime shifts on any market or timeframe.
2. How It Works
• Dynamic Weight Engine
▪ Volume – emphasises bars with exceptional participation.
▪ Volatility – inverse ATR weighting filters noisy spikes.
▪ Momentum – amplifies strong directional ROC bursts.
▪ Hybrid – equal‑weight blend of the three dimensions.
• Multi‑Mode Smoothing
Choose from 8 MA types (EMA, DEMA, HMA, LINREG, TEMA, RMA, SMA, WMA) plus a secondary smoothing factor to fine‑tune lag vs. responsiveness.
• Normalization Suite
▪ Percentile – rank vs. recent history (context aware).
▪ Z‑Score – standard deviations from mean (statistical extremes).
▪ Min‑Max – scale between rolling high/low (trend friendly).
3. Reading the Oscillator
Zone Default Level Interpretation
Bull > 80 Acceleration; momentum buyers in control
Neutral 20 – 80 Consolidation / no edge
Bear < 20 Exhaustion; sellers dominate
Gradient line/area automatically shades from bright green (strong bull) to deep red (strong bear).
Optional bar‑painting colours price bars the same way for rapid chart scanning.
4. Typical Use‑Cases
Trend Confirmation – Set Weight = Hybrid, Smoothing = EMA. Enter pullbacks only when WMMO > 50 and rising.
Mean Reversion – Weight = Volatility, reduce upper / lower bands to 70 / 30 and fade extremes.
Volume Pulse – Intraday futures: Weight = Volume to catch participation surges before breakout candles.
Divergence Spotting – Compare price highs/lows to WMMO peaks for early reversal clues.
5. Inputs & Styling
Calculation: Source, MA Length, MA Type, Smoothing
Weighting: Volume period & factor, Volatility length, Momentum period
Normalisation: Method, Look‑back, Upper / Lower thresholds
Display: Gradient fills, Threshold lines, Bar‑colouring toggle, Line width & colours
All thresholds, colours and fills are fully customisable inside the settings panel.
6. Built‑In Alerts
WMMO Long – oscillator crosses up through upper threshold.
WMMO Short – oscillator crosses down through lower threshold.
Attach them once and receive push / e‑mail notifications the moment momentum flips.
7. Best Practices
Percentile mode is self‑adaptive and works well across assets; Z‑Score excels in ranges; Min‑Max shines in persistent trends.
Very short MA lengths (< 10) may produce jitter; compensate with higher “Smoothing” or longer look‑backs.
Pair WMMO with structure‑based tools (S/R, trend lines) for higher‑probability trade confluence.

[Top] LHAMA Consolidation DetectorIntroducing the Low-High Adaptive Moving Average (LHAMA 🦙), a powerful tool designed to help traders visually distinguish between trending and consolidating market phases. Unlike traditional moving averages that can produce false signals in choppy markets, the LHAMA is engineered to flatten out during periods of consolidation and become more responsive when a clear trend emerges.
This indicator's primary function is to act as a "Consolidation Detector." When the LHAMA line goes flat and adopts its "Flat Color," it serves as a clear visual cue that the market is range-bound. Conversely, when the line begins to slope and changes to its Bullish or Bearish color, it signals a potential breakout or the start of a new trend.
How It Works
The LHAMA is a type of adaptive moving average. Its adaptiveness is derived from a unique calculation that measures market "trendiness." It does this by tracking whether new highs or new lows are being made within a specified lookback period.
In a Trending Market: When the price consistently makes new highs or lows, the indicator's responsiveness increases, causing the LHAMA to track the price much more closely and responsively.
In a Consolidating Market: When the price is range-bound and fails to make new highs or lows, the responsiveness decreases significantly. This causes the LHAMA to flatten out and become less sensitive to minor price fluctuations, effectively filtering out market noise.
Key Features
Adaptive Calculation: The core engine of the indicator, which automatically adjusts its smoothing based on trend strength.
Slope-Based Coloring: The line's color dynamically changes based on its slope, providing an at-a-glance view of market conditions: bullish, bearish, or flat.
Multi-Line & Multi-Timeframe (MTF): You can enable up to six fully customizable LHAMA lines. Each line can be configured with its own length, colors, and can even be set to a different timeframe, allowing for comprehensive multi-timeframe analysis on a single chart.
Volatility Clouds: Each LHAMA can display an optional cloud around it. The cloud's width is based on your choice of either the Average True Range (ATR) or Standard Deviation (StdDev), offering a visual representation of volatility.
Volume Weighting: An option to incorporate volume into the adaptive calculation, making the LHAMA even more responsive during high-volume price movements.
How to Use
Identify Consolidation: The primary use case. A flat and consistently colored LHAMA line is a strong indication of a sideways or consolidating market. This can help traders avoid taking trend-following trades in choppy conditions.
Confirm Trends: When the LHAMA begins to slope upwards or downwards and changes to its trend color, it can be used to confirm the direction and strength of a new trend. The steeper the slope, the stronger the momentum, and more solid the directional color.
Dynamic Support & Resistance: Like other moving averages, the LHAMA can act as a dynamic level of support in an uptrend or resistance in a downtrend. The optional cloud can further define these zones.
Multi-MA Ribbon Strategy: By enabling multiple LHAMAs with different lengths (e.g., Fibonacci sequence like 14, 21, 34, 55), you can create a ribbon. The expansion of the ribbon indicates a strong trend, while its contraction signals a weakening trend or consolidation.
Settings Explained
Enable 🦙 Line: A simple checkbox to turn each of the six LHAMA lines on or off.
Length: The lookback period for the LHAMA calculation. Shorter lengths are more responsive, while longer lengths are smoother.
Timeframe: Set a specific timeframe for each LHAMA. Leave blank to use the chart's current timeframe.
Volume Weight: If checked, adds volume weighting to make the LHAMA more responsive to high-volume moves.
Colors (Bullish, Bearish, Flat): Customize the colors for each market state. To only see the line during consolidation, set the Bullish and Bearish colors to 100% transparency. To hide the line during consolidation, set the Flat color to 100% transparency.
Color Sensitivity: This is a crucial setting. Because price scales (tick sizes) vary widely between symbols, this setting allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the slope detection. A lower value requires a steeper slope to trigger a trend color, while a higher value is more sensitive.
Recommended settings are provided in the input tooltip as a starting point:
$5 Tick: 0.25 Sensitivity
$1 Tick: 0.75 Sensitivity
$0.25 Tick: 3 Sensitivity
$0.01 Tick: 50 Sensitivity
$0.005 Tick: 100 Sensitivity
Cloud Settings:
Show Cloud: Toggles the visibility of the volatility cloud around the LHAMA.
Width Based On: Choose between "ATR" or "StdDev" to calculate the cloud's width.
Cloud Length & Width: Set the lookback period and multiplier for the ATR/StdDev calculation to control the size of the cloud.
Risk Context + Position SizingWhat This Indicator Does (And Doesn't Do)
This is NOT a buy/sell signal indicator. Instead, it's a risk management tool that helps you understand two critical things:
How volatile the market is right now (compared to recent history)
How much you should risk on your next trade based on that volatility
The Core Problem It Solves
Imagine you always risk the same amount on every trade - say $100. But sometimes the market is calm and predictable, other times it's wild and unpredictable. This indicator says: "Hey, the market is going crazy right now - maybe only risk $70 instead of your usual $100."
How It Works
Measures Market "Nervousness"
Uses ATR (Average True Range) to measure how much prices typically move each day
Compares today's volatility to the past 100 days
Shows you a percentile (0-100%) - higher = more volatile
Categorizes Risk Environment
LOW (green): Market is calm, you can size up slightly
NORMAL: Standard conditions, use your normal position size
HIGH (red): Market is jumpy, reduce your position size
EXTREME (dark red): Market is in chaos, significantly reduce size
Important Disclaimers
This doesn't predict price direction - it only measures current market stress
You still need a trading strategy - this just helps you size it properly
Past volatility doesn't guarantee future volatility
Always combine with proper stop losses and risk management
BullTrading Easy Tops & BottomsTRADING TOOL OVERVIEW
The Easy Tops & Bottoms indicator identifies potential reversal points on intraday charts by analysing volatility patterns and momentum shifts during major trading sessions. It projects horizontal zones that may act as support or resistance, adapting dynamically to price behavior.
This indicator is designed for use on intraday timeframes from 1-minute to 15-minute charts only.
HOW THE INDICATOR WORKS
The indicator uses an adaptive algorithm to evaluate momentum exhaustion and volatility clusters within intraday sessions (aligned with New York local time). It generates time based zones when conditions indicate potential trend reversals, such as after volatility spikes followed by contraction. These zones extend horizontally until price breaks boundaries or a bar limit is reached.
- Support Zones : Formed during bullish sessions with tail volatility, suggesting potential bottoms.
- Resistance Zones : Formed during bearish sessions with wick volatility, suggesting potential tops.
Zones are filtered for significant sessions to focus on meaningful price action. Signals trigger based on price interaction with the zone, requiring a specific relationship between the candle's low, high, and close relative to the zone level—for example, engulfing the level but closing in the reversal direction.
Note that signals and zone behaviors will differ across timeframes (e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m) due to varying candle sizes affecting how closes relate to zone triggers. Shorter timeframes may show more frequent but noisier interactions, while longer ones capture broader momentum shifts.
USERS GUIDE
What the Indicator Does?
The indicator has two operating modes: Buy/Sell Signal Mode (suitable for beginners and trend-following traders—important note: trend-following traders must filter according to their own trend criteria) and Support/Resistance Mode, which is a full and complete trading system.
- Plots Dynamic Zones: Horizontal boxes appear at qualifying session ends, representing support (bottoms) or resistance (tops).
- Active zones use a semi-transparent colour (customisable) and extend rightward while valid.
- Expired zones (after break or timeout) shift to a historical colour for reference.
- Generates Signals (in Buy/Sell Signal Mode): Labels appear on zone interactions confirming reversal potential:
- "BUY" (green) for support zones.
- "SELL" (red) for resistance zones.
- Time Based Focus: Ties to intraday periods like Asian, London, and New York transitions. Use NY Local Time in your charts.
- Additional Elements: Includes a watermark with symbol, timeframe, and date; an optional NotePad table for notes.
How to Interpret Signals
- Zone Dynamics: Active zones indicate ongoing validity; expiration signals a potential shift (e.g., a support break may turn it into resistance).
- Signal Triggers: Require price to test the zone level with a closing bias toward reversal. These are suitable for beginners learning basic reversals or trend traders adding their own filters (e.g., moving averages for direction).
- Value for Users: Beginners can use zone height to set stop-loss (SL) below/above the box, enabling a 1:2 risk-reward ratio (RR) for take-profit (TP) at twice the zone distance.
- Timeframe Variations: Expect different signals on 1m vs. 15m, as smaller candles on lower frames may trigger more selectively based on close positions relative to zones.
- Note on Entries in Internal Range Zones: For all entries (the Internal Range inside range zones), when a big zone swallows smaller zones ahead, consider using the bigger zone or the SL price level as an entry level.
PRACTICAL TRADING SCENARIOS
Here, we expand on how to apply the indicator in real-world trading, with detailed examples for each mode. These scenarios assume a basic understanding of risk management, such as position sizing at 0.5-1.5% of account capital per trade. Always backtest these ideas on historical data for your specific instrument (e.g., forex pairs like EUR/USD or indices like US30).
Buy/Sell Signal Mode: Reversal and Trend-Following Applications
This mode is ideal for spotting reversal opportunities while allowing flexibility for trend filters. Signals appear as labels when price interacts with zones in a confirmatory way, making it beginner-friendly for learning entry points. Trend-following traders should overlay their preferred trend indicators (e.g., a 50-period EMA) to avoid counter-trend trades.
Important critical note: In this mode, the 1:2 RR is based and measured directly on the zone height (not on the actual distance from entry price to SL). The correct SL placement is at the far edge of the zone (e.g., zone bottom for buys, zone top for sells), and TP is set at twice the zone height from the signal level (the key trigger price where the label appears).
- Basic Reversal Scalping (Beginner-Friendly): On a 5-minute chart during the London session open, after a sharp down-move in EUR/USD, a support zone forms with signal level at 1.0850 (zone top) and height of 10 pips (zone bottom at 1.0840). Wait for a "BUY" signal when price dips to test the zone (low touches 1.0850) but closes above it. Enter long at the current price (e.g., 1.0855). Set SL at the zone bottom (1.0840), and TP at the signal level + 2x zone height (1.0850 + 20 pips = 1.0870). This ensures the 1:2 RR is measured purely on the zone (risk = 10 pips zone height, reward = 20 pips), regardless of exact entry. If volatility is high (filter enabled), this setup prioritizes stronger sessions for better win rates.
- Trend-Following with Filter: On a 15-minute chart of GBP/JPY during New York AM, the overall trend is upward (price above a 200-period SMA). A support zone appears with signal level at 185.20 (zone top) after a pullback, with a height of 20 pips (zone bottom at 185.00). Ignore any "SELL" signals as they counter the trend; instead, wait for a "BUY" when price tests the zone from above and closes bullishly. Enter long at the current price (e.g., 185.25). Set SL at the zone bottom (185.00), and TP at the signal level + 2x zone height (185.20 + 40 pips = 185.60). Add a trend filter like MACD histogram turning positive for confirmation, reducing whipsaws in ranging markets. The RR remains 1:2 based on the zone (risk = 20 pips height, reward = 40 pips).
- Range-Bound Day Trading: In a 1-minute chart of USD/JPY during Asian session consolidation, multiple zones form stacking as support/resistance. Monitor for "SELL" at a resistance zone with signal level at 147.80 (zone bottom) and height of 8 pips (zone top at 147.88) after an uptick. Enter short on the signal at the current price (e.g., 147.78). Set SL at the zone top (147.88), and TP at the signal level - 2x zone height (147.80 - 16 pips = 147.64). Shorter timeframes like 1m may produce more signals due to tighter candle closes, but use the volatility filter to avoid flat periods—test historically to see how 1m noise compares to 15m's smoother triggers. The RR is fixed at 1:2 on the zone (risk = 8 pips height, reward = 16 pips).
Support/Resistance Mode: Standalone Contrarian System for Fading Breaks
This mode hides signals and labels, turning the indicator into a complete contrarian trading system focused on fading zone breaks. It treats broken zones as "flips"—a broken support becomes potential resistance, and vice versa. Entries use limit orders at a distance equal to the zone height, with fixed 1:2 RR based on that height. No additional filters are required, but combining with session timing enhances edge. Alerts fire on new zone creation, allowing proactive setup.
When a setup results in a stop loss in Support/Resistance Mode, the original zone can be used for a "Stop & Reverse" trade with the same trading proportions. This means reversing the position direction upon hitting SL, using the original zone to set the new entry (at the box top/bottom trigger level), SL (at the opposite box edge), and TP (2x the height beyond entry)—effectively capturing momentum in the opposite direction while maintaining the 1:2 RR.
- Fading a Support Break (Short Setup): On a 5-minute chart of AUD/USD during NY PM, a support zone at 0.6650 (height 12 pips) breaks when low pierces below 0.6638. Consider the zone flipped to resistance. Place a sell limit order 12 pips above the broken zone (at 0.6662), SL 12 pips above entry (0.6674), and TP 24 pips below entry (0.6638, achieving 1:2 RR). This anticipates sellers re-entering on pullbacks to the former support. If the volatility filter is on, this only applies to significant breaks; historically, test on pairs with clear pip values to adjust for spreads.
Stop & Reverse Scenario: If the short position hits SL at 0.6674 (price rallies above), reverse to a long position. Use the original 12-pip zone: Place a buy limit order on the original broken support (now acting as flipped resistance, at 0.6650 box top), SL 12 pips below the new entry (0.6638 box bottom), and TP 24 pips above the new entry (0.6674, maintaining 1:2 RR). This captures potential upside momentum after the false break.
- Fading a Resistance Break (Long Setup): In a 15-minute chart of Nasdaq futures (NQ) during London close, a resistance zone at 18500 (height 50 points) breaks upward (high > 18550). Flip it to support. Place a buy limit order 50 points below the broken zone (at 18450), SL 50 points below entry (18400), TP 100 points above entry (18550). This catches pullbacks in uptrends. Longer timeframes like 15m may show fewer but more reliable breaks due to broader candle relationships—compare to 1m, where smaller candles might invalidate zones quicker.
Stop & Reverse Scenario: If the long position hits SL at 18400 (price drops below), reverse to a short position. Use the original 50-point zone: Place a sell limit order on the original broken resistance (now acting as flipped support, at 18500 box bottom), SL 50 points above the new entry (18550 box top), and TP 100 points below the new entry (18400, maintaining 1:2 RR). This captures potential downside momentum after the false break.
- Multi-Zone Contrarian Scalping in High-Volatility Sessions: On a 1-minute chart of Bitcoin (BTC/USD) during NY open, several zones form and break in quick succession. After a resistance at 65000 (height 200 USD) breaks, place buy limit 200 USD below (64800), SL at 64600, TP at 65200. Conversely, for a broken support at 64000 (height 150 USD), sell limit 150 USD above (64150), SL 64300, TP 63850. Use the max bars setting to limit zone lifespan in fast markets; enable volatility filter to focus on explosive sessions like news releases. This mode's standalone nature suits automated mindsets—backtest to quantify edge, noting 1m's frequent triggers vs. 15m's strategic ones.
Stop & Reverse Scenario: For the buy after resistance break, if it hits SL at 64600 (price falls below), reverse to short. Use the original 200 USD zone: Place a sell limit order on the original broken resistance (now acting as flipped support, at 65000 box bottom), SL 200 USD above the new entry (65200 box top), TP 400 USD below the new entry (64600, maintaining 1:2 RR). Similarly, for the sell after support break, if it hits SL at 64300 (price rallies above), reverse to buy: Use the original 150 USD zone: Place a buy limit order on the original broken support (now acting as flipped resistance, at 64000 box top), SL 150 USD below the new entry (63850 box bottom), TP 300 USD above the new entry (64300, maintaining 1:2 RR). This captures potential momentum after the false breaks.
- Risk Considerations for Both Modes: Always test scenarios historically and adjust for instrument specifics like pip/point values and spreads. For example, forex might use 1-2 pip buffers, while crypto needs larger due to volatility. This is not trading advice; users should evaluate independently and consult professionals.

Fat Tails Analyzer🧠 Fat Tails Analyzer — Analysis of Anomalous ("Fat-Tailed") Movements
📌 Description
Fat Tails Analyzer is a tool for analyzing "fat tails" in the distribution of returns. Unlike normal distribution, financial markets often exhibit frequent extreme movements. This indicator identifies and visualizes such events by analyzing logarithmic returns, deviations from normal distribution, and excess kurtosis.
🔬 Methodology
Logarithmic returns (ln(Close / Close )) are calculated for accurate aggregation and symmetry.
Moving average and standard deviation of returns are computed over a specified period.
"Fat-tailed" events are identified when returns exceed μ ± k·σ, where k is user-defined.
Normal distribution bands (±2σ) and kurtosis (a measure of tail "heaviness") are displayed for clarity.
📊 What It Displays
📈 Histogram of Returns: Green for positive, red for negative.
🟣 Fat Tail Threshold Lines: Marking extreme events.
⚪ Silver Normal Distribution Bands: ±2σ boundaries.
🔵 Kurtosis Line: If enabled.
📋 Table with Key Metrics: Mean, σ, kurtosis.
⚙️ Parameters
Lookback Period (Bars): Analysis period (default: 252).
Fat Tail Threshold (Std Devs): Deviation for extreme events (k, default: 2.5).
Show Normal Distribution Bands: Toggle ±2σ boundaries.
Show Kurtosis: Enable kurtosis analysis mode.
📌 Interpretation
Excess Kurtosis > 0: More extreme events than predicted by normal distribution.
Returns beyond fat-tail thresholds: Potential signals of panic, shock, or exceptional news.
Consistently high kurtosis: Unstable or speculative asset.
🧪 Applications
📉 Identify extreme risks in assets (especially cryptocurrencies and derivatives).
🧠 Study market behavior and dispersion.
🛡 Support risk analysis, stop-loss settings, and systemic risk assessment.
🔎 Compare assets by the "normality" of their behavior.

Excess kurtosis (color-coded by value)
🧠 Good to Know
Normal distribution has kurtosis = 0.
> 0: "Fat tails" (more extreme values).
< 0: "Thin tails" (values close to the mean).
Volume Peak LineA fully configurable “Volume Peak Line” indicator that draws a horizontal threshold at the highest volume over the last X candles (default 5).
Custom lookback (X volume candles)
Optional alert when current volume exceeds that peak
Separate up/down volume bars (green/red) or hide them to use your own volume overlays
Use it to spot surges in trading activity on any timeframe—ideal for intraday or swing setups where a barn-burner volume bar can signal a reversal or the start of a new trend.
